We can’t believe it – our eighth episode of the podcast has gone live! We’ve had such a blast adventuring into the world of audio, and we hope you’ve enjoyed what we’ve been sharing.
On the show, host Hester talks to people from all areas of the grocery industry to learn about them and their careers. From intern to CEO, we’re asking how people are managing during this period of rapid change and uncertainty. We’re discussing daily routines, lessons learned and hopes for the future. We’re also exploring how we adapt and flex to make our professional and personal lives work together, all the while embracing the fast-paced, ever-changing environment of this industry.
If you haven’t listened already or you fancy a refresh, here’s what’s been going on recently:
